It's very nice, but in this shot it's hard to see that it is oval.
Never seen the watch,

They may not be as well accepted as round watches but in certain periods they were very popular and gave birth to classics like the Cartier Tank and JLC Reverso.Would like to hear about other examples and variations on this theme.Lets show some of them of...

. . . and I'm curious about the 2554 - are there two different watches pictured, perhaps in different metals? Admiringly, Art

Thanks Geo I like your Cartiers very much.
Did I miss something, Fernando?

Don't tell me you just got this one, my friend... You know that I'm hunting this Platinum Cabaret with the black dial. To make the perfect trio. Well, I'm not unhappy with this beautiful 70eme: Best, Nicolas...

Didn't know you have been hunting it. Maybe the next piece to come along? It's heavy though but exquisite. Best Fernando
At least, one of the nicest, indeed
By: amanico : April 29th, 2009-08:06
Don't have an eye on the Gyro I, the Reveros Platinum tourbillon skeleton, the Duo Metre, and a few others, or you will dangerously fall in love, my friend. best, Nicolas

My predilection for rectangular watches . . .
By: Dr No : April 29th, 2009-09:33
. . . is difficult to explain, Geo. I think part of the reason is that round forms are subliminally expansive, so while I feel comfortable wearing my vintage round watches, there's a finite limit beyond which I feel a round watch is out of proportion with...
Nice!!!

If you mean the lack of popular rectangular case Omegas
By: mrsnak : May 2nd, 2009-18:17
I really liked the simplicity of that (pricey) Kennedy reissue, but would much rather have the vintage. There were some gorgeous rectangular/square cased watches they did in the 10s -50s. This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2009-05-02 18:25:32
Nicolas has already named it...
By: pplater : April 29th, 2009-10:52
When we met in Paris some time ago and saw this watch in a local boutique, Nicolas referred to it affectionately as 'the toaster'. From that very moment it was inevitable that one would be added to the watchbox! Have you a name for yours Geo? Cheers, ppla...

Lovely Monza!!
By: monochrome : May 4th, 2009-02:15
That Monza deserves a better place in your watchbox! It's design is just perfect and the classy / sporty looks match with any outfit. (sounds like a cheesy advertisement, but it's all meant). I hope to add a Monza to my collection some day... preferably a...
